The Official ***Donaire vs Rigondeaux*** Thread and others!!

Great fight indeed but first let's see if it ever get's made. Let me state something very important that many of you are ignoring ...

Rigondeaux can easily outbox Donaire. Rigo was an amateur legend, who was the P4P #1 boxer for his entire amateur career. Even though many of you think that Rigo can't take a punch I say that's false. Even though he was dazzed two times against Marroquin that doesn't mean he has a glass jaw. Rigo fought around 400 amateur bouts and was never knocked out and yes, there are many KO's in the amateurs! So this shows that his chin is not that bad as many of you think.

Against Donaire it's going to be a chess match with both respecting each other very much. Yes, Donaire has the power to possibly stop Rigo but if Rigo fights intelligently he can certainly outbox and outpoint Donaire. And let's not forget that Rigo also has KO power in both hands and those wicked body punches !

Rigo wins by points or by late TKO. After this, Donaire is forgotten.

 

Both guys are extremely skilled but I don't think there will be a long war between the 2. Either of them would could take a step ahead and crack the other.

My take is this:
- early-mid rd KO/TKO for either man, or
- decision win for either (a little bit lackluster fight) if both decides to hold back due to each other's respect of ability to capitalize for little mistakes

I don't think a late stoppage/TKO would happen. With the caliber of fighters they are, a war is too long between the 2.

It's too tough for me to give an exact prediction though
I'll lean for Donaire :good
